      "summary": "IO::Socket::SSL::SelfCertificate versions 1.00 for Perl contains malware which executes Python code from an obfuscated URL.\n\nThe generate_certificate runs a Python script saved as a certificate file.  The pyhton script attempts to retrieve code from a hardcoded http URL that is obfuscated with base64 encoding and run the response body directly.\n\nThe impact is that arbitrary code can be invoked as the user, without a dropped script being saved on the affected host.\n\nThe releases have no test scripts nor build hooks.  The intention may have been to trigger the payload after installation.\n\nThe dropper script is in lib/Crypt/SelfCertificate/sample/cert.pem.\n\nThis is similar to CVE-2026-95831 for the module Crypt::SelfCertificate.\n\nThe SHA-256 digests of the files are\n\n    ba24ee8ec3b7f47f65bed62e16fb413ace50653cf44bd8ea90914390922831e0  IO-Socket-SSL-SelfCertificate-1.00.tar.gz\n    821d38830e5eb8607738421c25ac25f59fff02a6ab67daa32fbd020429454dac  IO-Socket-SSL-SelfCertificate-1.00/lib/IO/Socket/SSL/SelfCertificate/sample/cert.pem\n\n    d483cb7b23b7271cb11cf242bff4a2e1c02df0b9525eb0429abeea8961c399d5  IO-Socket-SSL-SelfCertificate-1.00-upload.tar.gz",
